3D Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton

I sculpted a 3D Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton for reasons. Each bone is an indpendent mesh, including the individual components of the palate and braincase, although many are symmetrised.

The model mostly takes cues from the NYC T. rex (AMNH 5027), but in the process became an idealised, generalised representation of the species more than a depiction of any one individual. There's definitely some Tuft's Love, Nation's T. rex, and Stan flavouring in there.

The current topology is a bit of a high density uneven mess, but pending some cleanup and downsampling, I'd like to make this model viewable in some kind of online 3D viewport (e.g. Sketchfab). Stay tuned?

I can never decide if T. rex skulls look awesome or goofy. Maybe a bit of both?
